DVD to SVCD?

I would like to make a SVCD backup of my DVD's. I checked out some of the guides found on the home page about "SmartRipper: but found that to be kind of long and it sounds like I would have to download about 4 diffrent programs. I then cheacked out the guide about "DVD2SCVD", but I found out it can take up to 10 hours to make one backup! Any suggestions?
